Reported by: OFFICIAL NWS OBS.
A wintry mix of snow and freezing rain fell across New Castle County overnight on the 20th. Precipitation started as snow during the evening of the 20th across the entire state of Delaware. As warmer air moved in aloft after midnight, the snow changed to rain from Kent County southward. But, in New Castle County precipitation fell as freezing rain for a couple of hours before changing to plain rain toward sunrise on the 21st. Snowfall accumulations were around an inch and ice accretions were less than one-tenth of an inch. While untreated roadways were slippery, because this event occurred before dawn on President's Day (schools and most businesses were closed) very few accidents were reported.The wintry weather was caused by a low pressure system that formed to the lee of the central Rockies on the 19th. It moved into eastern Iowa during the afternoon of the 20th, central Illinois during the evening of the 20th, Lake Erie shortly after midnight EST on the 21st and Lake Ontario around sunrise on the 21st. Precipitation occurred on the cold side of this low pressure system's warm front.
